The topic has now been discussed in more details on d-devel and elsewhere and 
is due to the fact that some build-time tests use the QTESTDATA Qt macro which 
relies on __FILE__ expanding to the full path of the source file where it’s 
used.

We (the maintainers)’d prefer that kind of change be discussed and resolved 
upstream instead of having to revert it in every package that fails, but, oh 
well…

Thanks for the patch.
Applied and uploaded.


Happy hacking !
